Hamburg Contemporary

From September 22 to 27, 2025, the HfMT will be dedicated to contemporary music: Hamburg Contemporary presents three outstanding concerts that open up new sound spaces. The renowned ensemble LUX:NM will take center stage, working on new works with young musicians in intensive rehearsals as an ensemble in residence. The Akademie Kontemporär places a special emphasis on the collaboration with visiting composer Philipp Mainz, who will be holding a master class with the academy's scholarship holders. This year's thematic bracket "MONEY DOUGH" takes up an explosive topic: In the face of increasing cuts in cultural funding, Hamburg Contemporary wants to make a musical statement - loud, alert and unmistakable. Art is not a luxury, but a necessity. Let's make music as if it were the last concert - so that many more can follow.
